Premier League: Wolves vs. Brighton Picks — Hosts to Bounce Back to Winning Ways? (May 10)

Vito Pereira’s Wolves saw their winning sequence end last weekend, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Man City.

However, the West Midlands side were incredibly unfortunate not to have picked up a better result, as they created no shortage of clear scoring chances. A return to winning ways on Saturday could see Wolves close the gap on 12th-place Crystal Palace.

Brighton have endured a difficult second half of the season. The Seagulls have recorded just one win across their last five in the Premier League, and they were held to a home draw by Newcastle last Sunday.

Wolves vs. Brighton Picks

Brighton holds the advantage based on the head-to-head record. However, it is incredibly hard to overlook the progression that has been made by Wolves under Pereira.

They have won their previous three matches at home this season, and have netted their highest tally of goals since the 2019-20 season. Therefore, the value in the betting could be in favor of the home win.
